In the centre of the street
I find myself stopping
Pausing on that journey
While others carried on
Moving to one side
I sit down on the grass
Falling very quiet
Watching the world go by
Watching all those people
All with busy tasks
All with busy lives
What makes me different from them?
I see them do these things
Wrong, or Right
And I don’t feel that way
When others mostly do
They say you’ll be happy
It's for the best
Why can’t they understand?
It isn’t who I am inside
That same copy of paper
That same face you see
That same number like the rest
I’m me, and I’ll always be me
So why can’t they understand?
I won’t change for them
They won’t make me change
So please, stop trying to.
I won’t be like you...
I’m me...
